Chicken Chili

This Chili is probably a 3 1/2 star chili.  Pretty good.  I don't know that I would really think of it as a "chili" though.
It's got a lime flavor and I think I might do more jalapeno next time.  My 13 yr old had 2 full bowls so he liked it, actually my husband liked it too.  It works for me since it's chicken breast instead of hamburger :)

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins, washed and cubed
  • 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes in juice
  • 2 cans Great Northern beans (16 oz) drained and rinsed well
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed, or fresh
  • salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Preparation:

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil is very hot, add onion and garlic; saute until onion begins to brown, Add cubed chicken and brown on all sides; add chopped jalapeno, coriander, cumin, crushed tomatoes and beans. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes; add juice of one lime and stir in the corn kernels. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook chicken chili, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes longer; serve with sour cream, chopped red onion and chopped cilantro.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
